Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Long Range Hunting show me your LR 700s

Surgeon RSR (copy of the 700) in a BC light tactical, CDI bottom metal, .243 1x7.5 Brux Heavy palma contour finished at 26" with a brake from Nathan at straight shot gunsmithing. Bases are surgeon, rings TRS holding a Falcon 4x14 FFP. So far it has been amazing with a few groups under 3" at 600 yards. I know when Nathan built it he said he expects his rifles to go 1/2moa to 800 and it is doing it. The only load it eats is the 115 DTAC with 42gr of Ramshot Hunter for 2950fps.

Scenarshooter-

Do you have any close up pics or links to the rifle rests you use? Those look like they'd work quite slick. Great looking rifles. Which scope brand do you like?

Don't currently have a proper LR rifle, but I do have some mid-range stuff that's prety accurate. Not a Rem, here is an FNH PBR in 308. It's waring a Weaver T24. If I do my part, it shoot under 1/4 MOA.

Here is my contribution to the Rem 700 action. This is a 700 SA with a Hart SS barrel finished out a 27". The caliber is 22-243 Middlested 1:9 twist. Likes 69gr Match Kings and Varget real good. This one shoots better than the FN, as long as your not having to toat it very far. If I have to walk, I take the FN.

I have a pair of M700 LSS rifles.....
stock 338 RUM with Pachmyer Decelerator pad and a Leupold Mark 4 4.5x14x40mm

280 AI Hart #5 fluted 24" barrel, Tubb recoil lug, pillar bedded in a LSS stock. Leupold Mark 4 4.5x14x40mm

JD338

This is from 3 days ago. I chronographed my .260 (142SMKs at 2600)then printed out a chart.

Ran a 1/2 size IPSC steel out to 600. First and only three shots were spot on for elevation, held leading edge for wind. Results were 3 center hits, rough 3 inches. Not bad for just over the hood.

I will load some more and run it out to long range next time. I was pressed for time.

The rifle is an old 700 thats been in my family since the 70s. Started as a .243, then .308. Now it wears a Lilja .260 tube,HS stock, Ken Farrell 20 MOA base and VX3 6.5x20 Leupold.

How do you like that HS stock?

260 is an outstanding round. Fun ride.

I'll second that...

none of mine are anything really special:

Rem 700 LSS in 257roy stock except a Timney trigger with Leupy VXIII 4.5-14 with a turret.



Rem 700 .338 RUM with a oversized lug, Timney trigger, HS stock and DBM bottom metal, pillar bedded action and free floated barrel, Leica 2.5-10 up top.

The HS stock works fine. It is a simple, practical field stock. Nothing fancy, it just works.

The .260 is proving itself to be a performer. Shoots tight little groups, is less susceptible to wind deflection compared to M118LR and recoil is minimal. I think it really starts to shine once you get it out past 600.

Overall, I give it a thumbs up.

Very nice 260 set up and easily taken to 1000y

123g Scenars would be very interesting in it.

A feller after my own heart. I have a 280AI thats almost an identical twin to yours except my barrel isnt fluted.

Where are you guys getting the stock /cheek packs i see on several rifles here? Are they avaliable in commercial camo patterns such as Mossy Oak or Realtree.

Thanks Shane. The Borden is in need of one of those packs.
